Spider monkey at Matapalo Beach. Was even able to feed this guy, but please don’t give monkeys bananas! Bananas can cause monkeys to miscarriage.

7.8/10 Good! (1,337 reviews)
First and last time staying at a Riu. Very disappointing. Called the hotel the day before our stay to confirm 1 king bed and not 2 double beds.

The public areas of the hotel are very nice and well maintained. The pools are plentiful and shade is readily available. I did not go to the beach. Too hot for me. Our room was clean.

8.8/10 Excellent! (95 reviews)
The location was awesome and we loved the property. It's central but our unit was set back and it felt like a little hidden oasis with the pool. We were there during spring break and all the white college kids were wild but they didn't bug us at all in this place. There was even a very sweet cat ...
